Dear Lipstik N Lies

It's the 4th Wednesday of the month and as always we read a letter from one of our listeners. Tune in and LET'S TALK ABOUT IT!

 

DEAR LIPSTIK N LIES.................I have met the most remarkable woman, but after eight months of serious dating, I have realized that she has the worst and most manipulating 10-year-old daughter ever. She constantly claims sickness, and now even mental health issues like anxiety and panic disorder, although they have never been formally diagnosed, to prevent her mother and me from having time together. Immediately after her mother agrees to her daughter's request and lets her get her way, the kid becomes happy and energetic and goes back to playing. (I feel she is laughing in my face.) The numerous cancellations and tantrums are very upsetting, and it hurts my feelings when the person I love most in the world sets me aside.

I had considered proposing marriage. I have a 13- and 17-year-old who are both respectful, energetic, and happy. They have been through a lot since their mother abandoned us, but they would never consider acting out like this girl.
